YouSendIt公司CEO:謙遜才能成功
????您有什么愛好? ????家庭就是我的愛好。我真的很享受和孩子們待在一起,盡父母的本分。我的周末活動全都是運動鍛煉和家庭聚餐,沒有其他方式(雖然多去看看電影,也不錯)。 ????如果您現(xiàn)在可以到世界上的任何一個地方,您想到哪里? ????我現(xiàn)在對南美洲非常著迷。那是一個非常有意思,而且充滿活力的地方。蓬勃發(fā)展的經(jīng)濟正在真正改變這個國家人民的生活,同時對它的機構產(chǎn)生積極影響。雖然還沒到時間,但我很想到里約熱內(nèi)盧觀看2014年世界杯。 ????您最崇拜的商界或科技界人物是哪位?為什么? ????我是Jay Z的粉絲,但我認為Jay Z也是真正的企業(yè)家。在這個行業(yè),搞藝術的人最后大都窮困潦倒,但他足夠聰明,除了打造和掌控個人品牌,還聯(lián)合他人把生意拓展到了服裝、房地產(chǎn)等領域。 ????哪個技術領域最讓您興奮? ????我對這個問題了解不多,但當前基因技術看起來最具誘惑力。基因工程可以消除遺傳紊亂的想法太激動人心了,但它也可能引發(fā)更多噩夢式的社會影響。 ????每位領導人都應具備的一項品質(zhì)是什么? ????謙遜。成功人士的通病是拒不接納別人的建議和想法,導致近在眼前的成功遠去。在個人能力范圍內(nèi)保持自信很重要,但也必須承認,如果沒有他人的幫助或一點運氣,誰也成功不了。 ????企業(yè)家必須去讀商學院嗎? ????我讀了商學院,從我學到的內(nèi)容和遇到的同學來看,它改變了我的人生。但我在進商學院之前就已經(jīng)創(chuàng)辦了第一家公司,而且很多成功人士也沒有商學院學歷。因此,我不認為它是必須的。(財富中文網(wǎng)) ????譯者:老榆木 |
????What do you do for fun? ????Family is my fun. I really enjoy hanging out with my kids and being a parent. My weekends are all about sporting events and family dinners, and I wouldn't have it any other way (though going to the movies more often would be nice). ????If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be? ????I'm currently fascinated by South America. It's such an interesting, energetic place with thriving economies that are really changing the lives of its people and having a positive impact on its institutions. It's not right now, but I'd love to be in Rio for the 2014 World Cup. ????What business or technology person do you admire most? Why? ????I'm a fan of his music but I also like that Jay Z is a true entrepreneur. In an industry where the artist often ends up the loser, he was smart enough to build and retain control of his brand and work with others to diversify his interests into clothing, property, and more. ????What technology sector excites you most? ????I don't know much about it, but genomics feels like the most intriguing sector at the moment. The idea that genetic engineering could eradicate inherited disorders is hugely exciting, but there's also the potential for more nightmarish social impacts. ????What is one characteristic that every leader should possess? ????Humility. A common weakness of successful people is letting that success close them off from the opinions and voices of others. It's important to be confident in your own ability but also to acknowledge that no one got anywhere without help from others or a generous slice of luck. ????Is business school necessary for entrepreneurs? ????I went to business school, and it was life-changing in terms of what I learned and the people I met. But I started my first company before business school, and plenty of successful entrepreneurs have no qualifications, so I wouldn't say it's necessary. |
